However, for confidentiality reasons, we will not want to include "full address" details in a public way in our forum. We will probably revert to "town" only.

The issue then becomes the potential overlaps: multiple people showing at exactly the same location (or very very close), such that it is impossible to differentiate.

Would it be possible to show a "counter" at certain levels of zoom, and open up when clicked (or when higher zoom is appiled)? I have seen this behaviour in several Google Maps API demos, so it should be possible...

Just my suggestion. Otherwise, great mod. Thanks,

PS: Just FYI, we have a GoogleMap in our forum, only not using the API (it is using custom BBCodes with embed/iframe and buttons): see here: http://www.exincastillos.es/foro/aficio ... t2123.html
In that map, you may appreciate what I am trying to say above as suggested new feature.

No problem. You can fill in, what you want

There is a cluster engine in v3, so i implement it. Thanks for the hint.
